Correct. I'm not holding my breath waiting for them to do so, however!

If you raise it, however, it's only fair for me to ask how that comparison is appropriate to this case.

No, but it will prevent me and thousands of other people with bad connection, from playing SH5.

But what is exactly the type of connection required to play SHV?

Because both SH5 and World of Warcraft are PC games, and both require an access (and I guess a reliable access) to internet to play.

You're missing the point; it's not about how many can play it, or what type of connection is required. The point is simply that requiring a connection at all excludes some people. :yep:

Are you sure I'm missing the point?

Cause the ''The point is simply that requiring a connection at all excludes some people'' you just said didn't prevent World of Warcraft from being a very successful title.

We could also say that the PC requirements exclude some people too.

Although an internet connection should not be as necessary as the PC requirements, they (Ubisoft) have to answer for that, I don't.

Well, with the economy in the US, over 28% of people will lose their internet this year, unable to afford it. I'm not buying a game I can't play offline. We get terrible weather sometimes. We just had a terrible winter storm and our cable was out for two days. Bored, I play SH4. Once during an ice storm our cable was out for 8 days, power 5...still that's 3 days.. So what if it's a few days a year. I would hate to think I can't use my product without an online connection....that I bought whenever I want too.



Will not buy.

Where I live, we get terrible winter storm too!! :yep: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKeWmSbDmfc

Everytime I loose internet in those, I loose electricity as well !

This is crystal clear for me.

I WILL NOT BUY THE GAME if it requires constant internet connection.

I think you are. You can't compare an MMORPG - where the O stands for Online - to a game that's aimed primarily at single players.

People who buy WoW buy it knowing that it's a multiplayer online game. Indeed, they buy it for that reason. Thus it's a safe assumption that they believe they have the required internet connection to support playing it.

SH5 is not primarily a multiplayer online game; it's primarily a single player game. Single players have less interest in the online part. Single players prolly don't even know or care what speed their broadband connection is, because they've only ever used it to read this forum, not play a single player game.

:DL This is crystal clear for me . I WILL BUY THE GAME :DL

My point was that if internet, in our times, wasn't reliable, they (WoW players) would have a really hard time playing it.

:down:This is crystal clear for me . I WILL NOT BUY THE GAME:down:

You haven't played WoW i guess. There has been ****loads of all kind of troubles both with the gameclient and the servers/connections. Anyone that claims that WoW went painfree down the road has no idea what he talks about. I'm guessing that OSP will probably work stable and fine in 4-5 years time just like WoW but i don't want to wait that long to play a singelplayer game ALONE.

The network must somewhere have been efficient because this game has known unprecedented growth & success.

Now if you guys don't want to buy SH5 because it requires an internet connection and you think it should not, it's your choice, but it's another debate than what my point was about.

My point was:

Internet accessibility & reliability don't actually prevent millions of people around the world from playing PC games.
